Arabic Classes

Ahla w sahla - اهلا وسهلا

LEARN ARABIC!

Learn Levantine Arabic from native speakers and help vulnerable communities thrive. By learning with us you will be creating a positive impact. How? At 26 Letters, we empower locals facing adversity to become exceptional Arabic teachers.

If you are tired of wasting hours learning an Arabic that is not really used on the streets. If you can’t stand anymore boring texts and exercises that have been used since the beginning of time. If you are looking for interactive, fun and up-to-date classes, don’t despair ‘cause you have just found the right place.

"I genuinely cannot imagine a better place or way to learn Arabic. The teachers, the materials, the chosen way of teaching, the pace at which we learn, the dynamic of the classes and just everything that surrounds the learning process is unbeatable.”

- Clara Vidal, student.

“After 4 years trying to learn Levantine Arabic with 2 different teachers and an online group class, this has been the first time that I truly feel like I am learning, and what's more important, understanding the language. I am really glad I decided to learn with 26 Letters!”

- Azahara Canizares, student.

You will encounter two types of teachers in our program: Head teachers, experienced Syrian teachers in need of support and students; and oral-support teachers, Syrian youngsters that found a way out of abusive and underpaid labour by working as teachers.

Our courses are based on the immersion approach for language acquisition. This means that the only language you will hear and use during the course is Arabic. This will help you improve your comprehension and vocabulary building in the long run while bringing your pronunciation closer to a natural-sounding Arabic.

Our intensive Arabic courses are based on a self-developed curriculum that focuses on day-to-day interactions with the local community. The curriculum has been built with the main purpose of ensuring the rapid acquisition of language fluency, offering the possibility of building conversations from the very first moment.

Our books are not a senseless dictionary, they are based on conversations and in the application of expressions in every possible context.
